canik sfx guide rod dissemble

[waltherppq]

try to dissemble the guide rod and replace the spring with glock'. fund out:

1. really hard to dissemble, seems has loctite. better use heat/dryer

 

2. glock spring is small dia, not fit.

 

hope it will help.

are you going to try and figure out the right spring?

I got my guide rod apart today too. A little heat was the trick. I concur that Glock springs inside diameter is too small for the stock rod, & regular 1911 springs are too big. I don't really want to spend $80 on a Springco if I can get a couple pound lighter spring to work on this rod.

Glock springs are typically flat wound ISMI type springs.  I have heard that round springs (check wolf) may fit.

Try cutting off 2 or 3 coils from the TP9 FACTORY SPRING with a Dremel to lighten it a bit.

After I changed the striker spring to a Glock 6#, I was able to change the recoil spring to a Glockstore tungsten rod with a 15# spring. Feels perfect now. I'll check into changing the striker plunger spring next.

I am planning to use glock 6lb or 6.5 lb fps too, as the 5.5lb has 1/100 light strike (sb primer).

factory striker spring too heavy and sometime making the slide out of battery due to light recoile spring 

[OPENB]

Right. I couldn't change the recoil spring until I changed the striker spring. Slide stays in battery with this setup.
